Hi Dr. My family has a 6lb maltese who just turned 10. The dog does not. stop. gnawing on his paws. What could be the reason for this? He gets feisty when I try to touch them, and sometimes can be docile and will lick my hand if I massage the paw a little.

This is why I feel the way I do about the death penalty. Aside from the fact that death does not result in rehabilitation because the person is, well, dead, it's sort of like cutting off the nose to spite the face. We deprive ourselves of great subjects for research that would help society to be aware of behavioral patterns that could prevent these situations to begin with.

Hi India, and thank you for doing this. I have a personal question regarding your sexual sense of self, so please don't hesitate to ignore this. On Seduced, we see a ring that seems to signify an engagement. How was the experience for you in building intimacy with a new person after Keith's abuse? How was it to build that threshold of safety, and do you experience difficulty around engaging sexually?

Hi Dr. Wagner. I'm an AMFT getting my hours and am finding it incredibly difficult to keep the attention span of my 9 year old patient. Do you have any strategies to increase maintained focus when toys and distractions surround him? Can you suggest ways encourage him to stay on topic?
